Advantages: Fast, consistant, no singing or talking

Disadvantages: Only for your neighbours!

I first hit upon Astral Projection after downloading a couple of mp3 tracks from them via the internet. The two tracks I first downloaded were Mahadeva and Fly (which is not featured on this album).

Now until then, I’d never heard of Astral Projection, now they are one of my favourite!
Based on the track Mahadeva, I just went out on impulse and bought this album! It has to be one of my best ever buys.

There music is just what I like; it’s very fast, non-stop trance music and has almost no voice or singing, just pure trance music – heaven to my ears!!
The tracks are all decent, ranging from 5 to 10 minutes long (always a sign of quality), all mixed seamlessly into one another so well, it’s hard to tell when the tracks change. It’s the kinda music that begs you to turn up the volume and you’re guaranteed to work up a sweat dancing to it!!
There are no silly ATB style sounds or other gimmicks in it, the pace & style is consistent throughout the album although there are ‘breathers’ which are placed well & well needed!! Basically if you wanted to dance to it, you could, non-stop – there are no points were you’d be stood there wondering what to do with your arms & legs like so many other trance tracks!!

This has to be one of the few CD’s in which I can’t really pin-point any bad track, normally you get at least a few tracks that you just want to skip, but this CD just has none!! In fact it’s hard to say which are my favourite because I like so many.
If I had to pick my favourite tracks however, they would probably be… Axis V0.99, Liquid Sun, Searching For UFO’s and Mahadeva.

Bizarrely, I also find this album a really good one to listen to when I just wanna lie down and chill, kinda sends me off to another planet! Great thinking music!!

Anyway, if your into trance music (or even if you’re not!) and have always wa
nted music without the gimmicks, without any singing or talking over and with a consistent fast beat & style, I’d certainly recommend you try this one out.

If I had to pick a disadvantage, well it’s hard, but perhaps the fact that all the tracks are in the same style could be considered a disadvantage by some?!

A truly excellent album!

Tobes.

Nice one son. I first came across AP as the number 1 track on a compilation called simply "Goa Trance". I then bought their first album "Trust in Trance" which if you don't yet have, is highly recommended - although a couple of the tracks are on your mix album anyway.

At the time, I was really into acid/pyschadelic/Goa trance - hey, what's a label? - and went to all the Megadogs and Return to the Sources that championned that sound. Since then I've moved into slightly slower stuff - more progressive house in fact. However, when I came across your review, I dug up Trust in Trance and it has been waking me up on the drive in to work for the past week. Astral Projection are a superbly creative lot, and there's this endless euphoric energy to their music. Even though I'm no longer a great fan of their style in general, their tunes still hit the spot. They truly are the dog's proverbials. Top op too that reminded me of exactly what I'd been missing for literally years.
